San Francisco’s cable car elves offer KTVU behind the scenes look at decorating process

The holidays have officially arrived in San Francisco, and along with the tree lightings and decorations, the city’s iconic cable cars are once again getting dressed up for the season. Each November, more than a dozen cable cars are decorated top to bottom with ornaments, garlands and shimmering lights. Behind the festooned fleet is a small team of volunteers, unofficially known as the cable car elves.
